You get to your room, coach, before I tell the athletic director on you!

Getting ejected from games is an art form for coaches. Some paint beautiful masterpieces in oil and acrylics, leaving the field after an intense and detailed argument with the officials. On the other hand, some coaches just plunge their hands into the fingerpaint and start flinging stuff everywhere.

The following are the childish maneuvers some catches pull when facing discipline or disappointment. They’re not the most elegant renderings of a tantrum, but we’ll put them on the fridge if it makes them feel better.

The Sit-in Solution

The sit-in solution isn’t so much as a solution as it is an intrinsic reaction we learn to use as children when all other physical forms of protest have been exacerbated.

While most of us grow out of this childhood habit and go on to live happy lives involving coed softball leagues and crippling college debt, minor league manager Marty Brown never lost his inner child.

After an opponent's baserunner cut off second baseman from making a play on the ball, the Buffalo Bisons manager argued with the umpire and was tossed from game. It was then that some tender little something snapped inside Brown, and he reverted to the most basic of tantrums—the limp noodle.

Brown eventually left the field, but it would’ve happened sooner had the umpires brought a leash to the game.

Making a Mess and Not Cleaning It Up

Overreacting is in a child’s nature, and it also happens to be a well-worn tactic in Wally Backman’s bag of tricks, it would appear.

With the intention of defusing an argument between one of his players and the home plate umpire, the South Georgia Peanuts manager ran and interposed himself between the two quarreling men.

Instead of easing the situation, however, Backman exhaled a steady stream of expletives at the official—essentially breathing natural gas on the angry brush fire. The ensuing ejection he received provoked the manager into throwing almost the entire contents of his bullpen and storming off.

Make Faces

Stupid questions are like drippy snow cones to Bob Knight—annoying as hell, but he’ll be damned if he doesn’t savor ever single one he gets.

So when one reporter asked the former IU basketball coach a question about “game faces,” the General responded with a series of facial expressions that looked like a child sucking down a bag of lemons.

No Tripping!

Martin Tremblay is a 48-year-old man who coaches peewee hockey, and he will sweep the leg of anybody he so chooses to—even a 10-year-old boy.

Tremblay was sentenced to 15 days in prison after losing his temper in a postgame handshake line and tripping two members of the opposing team. The kids he went after were 13 and 10, and as you can hear from the reactions, no one could believed anyone would ever do such a thing.

Kicking and Screaming

Lou Piniella is one man who hasn’t forgotten the finer points of tantrum-throwing.

He understands the value of body language and how actions speak louder than words. Arm flails and kicks are more embarrassing to a parent than screaming. Words are wind, Jon Snow—but struggling calls for a physical response from the child’s guardian, which can only land them in hot water.

'Mikey Doesn’t Like It'

I apologize for that pun, but this is Mike Mularkey, and he is losing his Doritos Locos tacos.

The tantrum occurred at a 2012 game against the Indianapolis Colts, after Andrew Luck had just been credited for a questionable rushing touchdown.

It was bad enough that the Jags were in the middle of what would become a dismal 2-14 season, but Andrew Luck scoring a rushing touchdown against your team is the kind of experience that makes a man want to curl up in a shower stall while “Jumper” plays on repeat.

Express Themselves in Ways They Only Understand

Former Mississippi Braves manager Phil Wellman is a YouTube legend, and his magnum opus meltdown still stands tall today as the Mona Lisa of ejection reactions in minor league baseball.

Wellman’s tirade included nearly the entire spectrum of infantile outbursts, from the making of messes to the squealing and kicking, but add in the grenade/rosin bag and the sequence as a whole leaves you with the impression you have no idea what’s going on in this person’s head.

The Push and Cry

Morehead State head coach Sean Woods pulled a play from the bully handbook when he shoved a player in the back during a 2012 game against UK.

Granted, he wasn’t kicked out of the ballgame, but what made this occasion truly reminiscent of a childhood moment was the fact that the pushing and berating led to his player sitting on the bench with tears welling in his eyes.

If you grew up with siblings, you've probably done something like this before, and you always immediately felt like a jerk.

Pranking Authority

When you're on the failing end of a venture, what's a kid left to do besides go out with a little style?

Chris Clark knows what I'm talking about. Instead of arguing with officials like most coaches, the junior hockey league coach decided to get ejected for doing something vastly more entertaining and juvenile—pranking the umpires with a snazzily dressed blind man routine on the open ice.
